Yellow Box Junction (Why can't people understand how to use them correctly!)

[aeonf242]

Yellow Box Junction, look it's really simple.

The bit of the road that is marked out with yellow crossed lines means.......

Don't enter unless your exit is clear.

Simple.

End of Story

So why can't people understand how to use them correctly!

I've just spent 40 minutes on the slip road off the M3 trying to get on to a roundabout where everyone just went into the yellow boxes and hogged the road.

Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

Can't we just make something like Robot Wars where cars get flipped or burnt or dropped in a hole if they enter the box but can't exit.

LOL good plan!

What annoys me is it there is a jam going off a round-a-bout and then people carry on joining the round-a-bout, as if they can exit easily. So all the exits get blocked!! arrgg....annoys the hell out of me

What the hell is a yellow box junction? :O

[aeonf242]

It's a landing pad for Crows and Seagulls.

Pigeons use Zebra crossings.

very true. then again if u asked alot of people which lane they should be in at a double lane roundabout to go straight, u might get annoyed also

[aeonf242]

I would get annoyed :-0 Mr Angry Driver, but I'm perfect.

At a double lane roundabout you should use both lanes as long as you end up in the corresponding lane at the other end?

lol, well thats london for you

there must be 1000,s of peeps who are
driving with international driving licences
in london, and a good high percentage
of them will not know that the yellow box junction
means no stopping.

Having said that, it is common place to
drive through just turned red lights, not indicate
correctly (exp around roundabouts)
I could go on but it,s not worth it

thing is you get away with it in london,
outside of london...put simply...you don,t

In any major city you get away with it. Driving through Newcastle every day I see it!

never been to newcastle, so I cant say, but in
birmingham if you dont do something simple like
not indicate correctly
if a cop sees you chances are you will get pulled.

In london that simply wouldnt happen.
